Abstract:
The characterization of exoplanet atmospheres has entered a transformative era with the advent of powerful observatories such as JWST and upcoming missions like ARIEL. This talk explores how these facilities are reshaping our understanding of planetary diversity and atmospheric processes. By combining spectroscopy, modeling, and statistical analysis, researchers are uncovering the composition, thermal structure, and dynamics of distant worlds. The discussion will highlight key discoveries, challenges in interpreting data, and the next steps in the search for habitable planets and biosignatures beyond our solar system.
